3 unusual facts about Park and ride bus services in the United Kingdom


Park and ride bus services in the United Kingdom

The southern park and ride section aims to relieve the congested Forth Bridge road crossing.

Despite this, operation by small groups or independent operators forms a significant aspect of UK park and ride operations, such as Courtney Coaches (Basingstoke), Johnsons Excelbus (Stratford upon Avon), Veolia Transport (Swansea), Konectbus (Norwich), Travel de Courcey (Coventry), Bennets Coaches (Cheltenham) and Smith and Sons (Perth).

Smaller schemes may not necessarily employ specific marketing or dedicated all-over liveries where the passenger revenue does not justify this, such as in Stoke and Scarborough, although the term "park and ride" is a near-universally accepted term that is still applied to these smaller schemes on timetables and/or non-overall livery route branding.
